Naftali Bennett
Naftali Bennett appears in You’ve come a long way, Bibi: Israel’s crucial election as a former Israeli prime minister and one of the opposition figures challenging Benjamin Netanyahu in Israeli Election 2026. The episode says Bennett and Yair Lapid have joined parties under the Together banner.
The source uses Bennett mainly to show the opposition’s coordination problem. Polling can give anti-Netanyahu parties enough seats, but the episode warns that ideological distance, Arab-party participation, and coalition discipline may matter as much as the topline majority.
